Detailed Plan
Rational
Ethiopia is a vast nation. With differing interests at the center, local governments with great autonomy and the right to legislate, two large religions with over 40 million members each. Where and how Cardano can be implemented is limitless. Not all are on the same side of an issue often.
In such an environment IOG and CF are playing in a very narrow front, which is often resistant to change without nudging from the bottom up. The incumbents have very little appetite for change like every official in every country.
Goal
This proposal a complimentary proposal to DA Iddir <https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Decentralized-Autonomous-Iddir/381135-48088>
It is also meant as a parallel and complementary effort to official IOG and CF work from the ground up.
Despite the potential of blockchain technology most government officials, business people, or academicians can be resistant to the idea. It could be because they do not understand it or because it is a threat to their power.
That means the identification of individuals or groups who are amenable to the adoption of the technology and cultivating genuine and principled relationships is important. A relationship that is based on monetary incentive alone would not go far, or produce satisfying results.
This proposal is to create such an environment in the county. To create awareness about the technology. To have a debate. To have a discussion about what kind of laws we need to legislate. To draft such laws by experts and solicit the support of parliamentarians, political parties, civic organizations and other officials.
